...Assess the technology described in Suntec Singapore in the light of the latest technological developments for convention centres. Suntec Singapore convention centre is a state of the art convention centre, that prides itself in providing modern facilities and technology to its guests and clients. The world has become a global community and large multi-national conference centres have to cater to all nationalities. Having this in focus, Suntec Singapore has implemented Digital Congress Network in their conference halls, where a team of interpreters sits in an adjacent room or sound-proof booth, listen to what the presenter is saying, through headphones, and translate everything into fourteen other languages. Their voice is then picked up by a microphone that transmits the sound signals to Infra-Red translation receivers, via infrared panels placed around the conference room. They use invisible light waves to distribute the signal throughout the hall. As the convention centre has several conference halls, using infra-red receivers rather than FM receivers ensures that the sound signals do not leak into adjoining halls as infra-red signals will only work if the receiver is pointed at the panel. Since there conference hall doesn’t have any obstacles or columns, there is no recognizable drawback of using infra-red receivers. For a conference centre, it is important to have the right seating system. Suntec, therefore, has employed portable seating system, which is easy to set up and...
